Background

Elderly Care Law Firm and other appellants appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County. Circuit Judge Jose L. Fernandez entered the ruling under review in lower-tribunal case number 22-6148-MH-02.

The Third District’s brief per curiam opinion does not describe the parties’ underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged ruling was left in place; it does not identify the legal ground for affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the Miami-Dade County circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by Judges Fernandez, Lobree, and Gooden.
  • The opinion contains no factual account, legal analysis, or explanation for the result.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of the appeal with the circuit court’s ruling intact, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings. Because the opinion is an unexplained affirmance, it offers practitioners no express guidance about the substantive law or the court’s reasoning.
